Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3958604A1] This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The communication method includes: receiving measurement configuration information from a network device; determining whether a measurement task requires a measurement gap; and if the measurement task does not require the measurement gap, sending first measurement gap requirement information indicating that the measurement gap is not required to the network device, where the first measurement gap requirement information is used to deactivate or release configured measurement gap configuration information; and/or if the measurement task requires the measurement gap, sending second measurement gap requirement information indicating that the measurement gap is required to the network device, where the second measurement gap requirement information is used to activate or validate measurement gap configuration information corresponding to the second measurement gap requirement information. A measurement gap configuration status is determined based on measurement gap requirement information reported by a terminal device. Therefore, flexibility of configuring the measurement gap can be improved, unnecessary communication interruption can be avoided, and a network side does not need to reconfigure or release the measurement gap configuration through an RRC message, so that signaling overheads can be reduced.
